Have You Voted Yet?

Not for our real president. Although, I have heard early voting is the way to go. I’m talking candy. Candy for President!!!!We’re going to start gearing up for the election this week {provided school isn't closed foreverrrrrrr due to Sandy!} with my Candy Bar Election unit. I am sooo excited, because I do it yearly, and it is buckets of fun! {Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for ALL the Candy Goodness!}

By voting for Candy Bars, students learn all the elements of a regular election {you can even hold primaries!}, but without any influence of their parent’s political beliefs. Plus, students KNOW CANDY. Really well. I’ve had students get as passionate about a Kit-Kat bar, as people do about Romney or Obama!

Here’s a peek at what else My Candy Bar Election includes:

To make this unit fit all grade levels, many of the sheets come in a less “cutesy” format too!If you’re still looking for something for the election, hurry up and snag it by clicking the Preview Picture below :)Now, if you can guess which Candy Bar I would vote for, you can win this guy for FREE! I’ll email it to the first person who guesses correctly. Don’t forget to leave your email. And here’s a HINT: My favorite Candy bar is not mentioned OR pictured above {I couldn't make it too easy!}I’ll be spending at least the rest of the day today and tomorrow hanging out with the hubby, catching up on TV shows {as long as we have power}, and reading a book or two, while we try our best to avoid Sandy’s wrath!Stay safe, my fellow East Coasters!~Halle

Whatchmacallit? This is the favorite candy bar of the teacher across the hall. Sometimes I buy them for her...and sometimes I eat them before they make it to her room! This looks like a fun way to teach about the voting process!

I LOVE teaching about the election! Last Presidential election was my first year of teaching and I've been so looking forward to teaching this topic again. I like your lessons, come over to my blog and check out my election resources :)Thanks!Erinhttp://adventuresinthirdgrade-brown.blogspot.com/
